(My writing buddy Nicholas Thriller Holloway)
My writing has been inconsistent the last year. My inspiration for writing and researching and journaling has been lacking in my life. I miss you. I feel like a part of me is missing. My energy levels were drained from sepsis and healing from a leg wound that took three years to heal. I have a hard time explaining the exhaustion, constant sleep, not having energy to do anything but sit and breathe, so I have stayed silent. I have felt it in my soul that it is time to change that part of my life. I know that I cannot make dramatic changes. I am not going to magically run a 5k or bench press 400 pounds, but there are small things that I can do. I chose the word consistent for my focus word for 2026.
I started. Slowly, with intention. My complete wellness becomes a sacred declaration. Choosing to love myself. Choosing to have compassion and empathy for myself. I am good at showing it towards others. I value my relationships, but the relationship with myself has not been edified. I am working on that by choosing the things that show I care about my heart, soul, mind, and body.
I am starting slowly. I spoke up and asked my sister/friend/business partner to meet up to talk about writing for Wellness Works NW and writing projects. We are meeting up with their spouse and discussing things. I am looking forward to getting back to my projects with them and my own blog. I am also thinking about how to use AI for video voices for me so I can make personal videos to share on my blog, Facebook, and Instagram so you can see what I have been accomplishing instead of just reading about. That way I can show you the books, the essential oils, recipes, my movements and to share my accomplishments and you can see my joy, pain, and my determination. I purchased a planner that is made for Wellness. I love it. I think I will purchase one every year if I can or ask for one for Christmas. I love it so far. I don’t feel accomplished using my phone for appointments and planning. I am a paper and pen lady.
Besides my writing, I am choosing to make meals. For the last three years I have not cooked much. I did not have the energy for it. I was not consistent with my meal prep or making meals. I am doing that now. This week I have been successful. I will be slowly adding things into my daily life. Being consistent is my priority. I am making sure what I am choosing to include into my daily life is what I truly want. Blogging, writing articles for Wellness Works NW, moving my body, and eating well and doing my normal medical care will be my core focus. I feel that I can accomplish my intentions.
Have you chosen any intentions for this year?
